The therapeutic or prophylactic agent comprises as an effective ingredient a glycine derivative having a specific structure or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, for example, the below-described compound [(E)-2-(2,6-dichlorobenzamido)-5-[4-(isopropyl-pyrimidin-2-ylamino)phenyl]pent-4-enoic acid]. The therapeutic or prophylactic agent for allergic dermatitis according to the present invention has high therapeutic or prophylactic effect.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a therapeutic or prophylactic agent for allergic dermatitis comprising as an effective ingredient a glycine derivative or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof.

BACKGROUND ART

Allergic dermatitis is a recurrent eczematous lesion with chronic strong itching. Eruption is likely to occur on face, neck, flexural area such as elbow or knee, and in some cases eruption is exacerbated to spread systemically. Due to the environment with increased various allergens, the change in dietary life and the like, the number of patients suffering from allergic dermatitis is increasing and their symptoms tend to be more serious.

Therapy for allergic dermatitis is performed mainly by means of pharmacotherapy, and corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, antihistamines and the like are used. Although these agents can alleviate the symptoms or calm the inflammation, the effect is merely temporary. Moreover, it is known that corticosteroids and immunosuppressants may cause an infectious disease or serious side effects.

Thus, the therapeutic agents for allergic dermatitis now existing are not fully satisfactory with respect to effects thereof or reduction of side effects.

On the other hand, Patent Literature 1 discloses a use of the compounds represented by the below-described Formula:

(wherein Ar represents substituted phenylene or the like, L represents —S(O)₂— or the like, X represents a bond or the like, Z represents COOH or the like, R², R³ and R⁴ represent hydrogen or the like, R⁵ represents —C₂₋₁₀ alkenyl-aryl-NRdRe-heteroaryl- (Rd, Re represent hydrogenor C₁₋₁₀ alkyl) or the like, R⁶ represents hydrogen or the like), which may be considered to be structurally similar to the compounds contained as an effective ingredient in the present invention, for the therapy of asthma, allergic rhinitis, multiple sclerosis, arteriosclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease. However, the compounds whose use mentioned above is disclosed in the publication are structurally different from the compounds in the present invention in that the disclosed compounds are characterized in that Ar in the Formula is substituted with aminoalkyl structure (R¹LN(R²)CHR⁴—: R¹ represents substituted aryl or the like). Moreover, the therapeutic or prophylactic effect on allergic dermatitis according to the present invention is not disclosed at all. Furthermore, practical data which demonstrate the therapeutic effect on asthma, allergic rhinitis, multiple sclerosis, arteriosclerosis, and inflammatory bowel disease are not described, therefore the publication fails to fully disclose that the compounds really have the effect mentioned therein.

In claims of Patent Literatures 2 and 3, use of the compounds represented by the Formula:

X—Y-Z-Aryl-A-B

(wherein X represents a 6-membered aromatic ring comprising two nitrogen atoms or the like, Y represents —C₀₋₆ alkylene-NC₁₋₁₀ alkyl-C₀₋₆ alkylene- or the like, Z represents a bond or the like, Aryl represents a 6-membered aromatic ring, A represents —(CH₂)C═C(CH₂)_(n)— (wherein n=0-6) or the like, B represents —CH(substituted aryl-carbonylamino)CO₂H or the like), which includes the compounds in the present invention, as a bone resorption inhibitor and platelet aggregation inhibitor is described. However, the compounds in the present invention are not definitively described in the publications. The use disclosed therein is also totally different from that of the present invention. The therapeutic or prophylactic effect on allergic dermatitis according to the present invention is not suggested at all.

Patent Literature 4, which was published after the priority date of the present application, discloses a compound contained as an effective ingredient in the present invention and use thereof for therapy of inflammatory bowel disease. However, the therapeutic or prophylactic effect on allergic dermatitis according to the present invention is not disclosed at all.

The therapeutic or prophylactic agents for allergic dermatitis according to the present invention have a glycine structure substituted with an allyl group or propargyl group, a substructure represented by Formula (II) or (III), and the 2,6-di-substituted benzoyl structure shown in Formula (I). These compounds have more excellent oral absorbability and in vivo stability than those disclosed in WO99/26923 mentioned in Background Art, and therefore exhibit therapeutic or prophylactic effects on allergic dermatitis.

The oral absorbability and in vivo stability of the therapeutic or prophylactic agents of the present invention may be confirmed by using as an index bioavailability (BA) and clearance of the compound administered to an animal, but the method for confirmation is not restricted thereto.

The excellent effect of the therapeutic or prophylactic agents of the present invention on allergic dermatitis may be evaluated based on the activity to inhibit the swelling response caused by an antigen by using the method described in the literature [Inflamm. Res., 47, 506-511 (1998)]. It is known that the dermatitis reaction observed in this model is similar to the swelling response observed when an antigen is applied to a human patient suffering from allergic dermatitis. This method is also used as an animal model of atopic dermatitis. However, the evaluation method is not restricted thereto.

The therapeutic or prophylactic agents according to the present invention inhibit allergic dermatitis induced by an antigen in an animal model, and therefore can be used for ameliorating allergic dermatitis induced by an antigen, more specifically, diffuse neurodermatitis, atopic eczema, atopic neurodermatitis, Besnier's prurigo, acute infantile eczema, flexural eczema, infantile eczema on the limbs, infantile atopic eczema, infantile xerotic eczema, infantile eczema, adult atopic dermatitis, endogenic eczema, infantile dermatitis, chronic infantile eczema and the like. Examples of the antigen mentioned herein include mite allergens (Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus and the like), food allergens (albumen, milk, wheat, soy bean, rice, corn, sesame, buckwheat and the like), pollen allergens (ragweed, Artemisia, Solidago (goldenrod), vernal grass, orchard grass, Bermuda grass, timothy, reed and the like), fungus allergens (Candida, Penicillium, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Alternaria and the like), animal epithelium allergens (cat, dog), and hapten antigens (DNFB, DNP, TNP and the like). Moreover, the therapeutic or prophylactic agents according to the present invention may be used for ameliorating the symptoms accompanied by allergic dermatitis, for example, erythema, papule, scale, incrustation, lichenification, xerosis (dry skin), pruritus, xeroderma, chilitis, keratosis follicular, darkening of eyelids, facial pallor, pityriasis alba, food intolerance, white dermographism, and delayed blanch response.

The effect of the therapeutic or prophylactic agents according to the present invention on allergic dermatitis can be explained by the inhibition of leukocyte functions (e.g., adhesion and growth of cells) and inhibition of production of inflammatory mediators (e.g., cytokines and chemical mediators) by leukocytes. As the leukocytes, neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, which are originated from peripheral blood, or established cell lines thereof, are used. For the evaluations of the leukocyte functions and the inflammatory mediators, the methods described in, for example, Current Protocols in Immunology (John Wiley & Sons, Inc) are used, but the evaluation methods are not restricted thereto.

The therapeutic or prophylactic agents for allergic dermatitis according to the present invention can be used as a pharmaceutical for mammals (e.g., mouse, rat, hamster, rabbit, dog, monkey, bovine, ovine, human and the like).

When using the compound clinically, the drug may be the free compound or a salt thereof per se, or an additive(s) such as a vehicle, stabilizer, preservative, buffering agent, solubilizer, emulsifier, diluent and/or isotonic agent, may be admixed appropriately. The drug may be produced by a conventional method by appropriately using these pharmaceutical carriers. Examples of the administration mode include oral preparations such as tablets, capsules, granules, powders and syrups; parenteral preparations such as inhalants, injection solutions, suppositories and liquids; and topical preparations such as ointments, creams and patches. Further, known sustained-release preparations are also included.

The therapeutic or prophylactic agent for allergic dermatitis according to the present invention preferably contains the above-described effective ingredient in an amount of 0.001 to 90% by weight, more preferably 0.01 to 70% by weight. Although the dose may be selected depending on the symptoms, age, body weight, sex, administration method and the like, in case of an injection solution, a dose of 0.01 mg to 25 g, preferably 0.1 mg to 10 g, in case of an oral preparation, a dose of 0.1 mg to 50 g, preferably 1 mg to 20 g, and in case of a topical preparation, a dose of 0.0001 to 10%, preferably 0.001 to 5%, in terms of the effective ingredient, respectively, may be administered to an adult per day in one time or dividedly in several times.

Examples of the pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent include binders (syrups, gelatin, gum Arabic, sorbitol, polyvinyl chloride, tragacanth and the like), vehicles (sucrose, lactose, corn starch, calcium phosphate, sorbitol, glycine and the like), lubricants (magnesium stearate, polyethylene glycol, talc, silica and the like).

The therapeutic or prophylactic agent for allergic dermatitis according to the present invention may be used alone, or may be blended with or used together with other drug(s) for therapy or prophylaxis of the disease, or for alleviation or suppression of symptoms, or for complementation or enhancement of the prophylactic or therapeutic effect, or for decreasing the dose.

Example 88 Inhibitory Effect on Skin Swelling response in Mouse Allergic Dermatitis Model

This method was carried out in accordance with the literature “Inflamm. Res., 47, 506-511 (1998)”.

To each BLAB/c mouse (female, 7 weeks old, JAPAN CHARLES RIVER), mouse IgE anti-DNP antibody (2.5 mg/kg, SEIKAGAKU CORPORATION) was intravenously administered to passively sensitize the mouse. Twenty four hours later, 20 μL of 0.38% 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB, SIGMA) dissolved in acetone:olive oil (4:1) was applied to the auricle of the sensitized mouse to induce inflammation. The thickness of the auricle was measured with time till 24 hours after the induction with Digimatic Indicator (Mitutoyo), and the ear swelling ratio was calculated according to the following equation:

Ear Swelling Ratio(%)=(A−B)/B×100

A: Thickness of the right auricle after the induction

B: Thickness of the right auricle before the induction

Each test compound was dissolved in phosphate buffered saline and orally administered at a dose of 50 mg/kg before the induction.

As a result, the compounds described in Example 4, Example 6, Example 22, Example 28, Example 77, Example 78, Example 80, Example 81, Example 83, and Example 84 inhibited the swelling response of the auricle induced by applying the antigen for 24 hours after administration when they were orally administered (Inhibition ratio: 79.8%, 91.2%, 84.7%, 98.5%, 85.8%, 62.5%, 86.3%, 97.9%, 57.4%, 66.9%).

As the Comparative Compound, (E)-2-(4-((3,5-dichlorophenyl sulfonamide)methyl)benzamide)-5-(4-(2-methoxyethoxy)phenyl)pent-4-enoic acid sodium salt (XXII) described in WO 99/26923 was used. In case of the Comparative Compound, the inhibition ratio of the ear swelling measured at 24 hours after oral administration was 2.3%.

As is apparent from the results, the therapeutic or prophylactic agents of the present invention have an excellent and sustained inhibitory effect on allergic dermatitis when orally administered.
